OBJECTIVE: To make available a consistent terminology and taxonomy that permits standardization in medication error detection, analysis, classification, and recording. METHODS: A working group consisting of healthcare professionals from four hospitals of varying characteristics was established to develop the terminology and the taxonomy, which was validated through a qualitative analysis of 423 medication errors registered in the participating hospitals. RESULTS: A document with a terminology and a taxonomy for classifying medication errors is presented. CONCLUSIONS: This document will facilitate analysis of the information collected on incidents caused by medication, and will allow comparisons to be made among data gathered in different kinds of settings. In addition, it will be a useful tool for medication safety committees in hospitals in their efforts to set up internal reporting programs designed to identify shortcomings in their medication use systems and to adopt effective measures to reduce the incidence of medication errors.
